For example, if you captured Mozilla Firefox, the location of the project files might be C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware ThinApp\Captures\Mozilla Firefox. You might browse the project prior to building the application executable or MSI file to update a setting, such as the sandbox location in the Package.ini file which contains the administrator configured settings entered during the setup capture process. The project includes folders, such as %AppData%, that represent file system paths that might change locations when running on different operating systems or computers. Most folders have Attributes.ini files that specify the isolation mode at the folder level. The isolation mode setting at the granular folder level overrides the overall isolation mode setting of the Package.ini file. 17
